Black Country Communion were voted the Planet Rock Band Of The Year last week stealing the title away from regular winners Iron Maiden, who were second followed by Muse and Slash. Planet Rock commented   “The first rule of supergroups is that they must be a crushing disappointment. Black Country Communion obviously didn’t get the memo and despite playing just two unbelievable concerts this year they have beaten several very big bands to win this category by some margin. An excellent album, several musicians at the top of their game, …

Black Country Communion gave a first class  lesson in the art classic rock at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire last night.

Three years ago today I awoke with the prospect of Led Zeppelin retuning to the stage just a matter of hours away. The previous night I’d spent the evening in the Pilot Inn toasting that fact with fans from all corners of the world. It would be a similar scene a few hours later.
The day itself went by in something of a blur – walking on that cold concourse leading to the O2 complex, conducting various interviews, bumping into countless fans I knew. After a communal hug …

I had the concert experience of a life time Tuesday, October 20 when the Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience landed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My nephew and I had Meet & Greet tickets. Jason, his tour manager and the girl handling PR were all very friendly. There were approximately 30 people or so in line to meet the man and get his autograph on the Remo drum heads provided as part of the Meet & Greet – or anything else you wanted signed. My option …

Jason Bonham Experience: State Theater Minneapolis
October 19th 2010
It was a clear, crisp Tuesday evening in Minneapolis, for the Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience at the historic State Theater.  The compact very dedicated crowd were paying their respects to John and Jason.  From the opening number of Good Times Bad Times through the encore of Whole Lotta Love (with Theremin) the guys did not disappoint.  The music often accompanied film clips of John Bonham as a youth, as well as family clips of John, Jason and Wife/Mother Pat.  Jason starts the …
